DIGITAL DENTISTRY

iTero® Element™ Intraoral Scanner

The iTero® Element Scanner is a digital impression system that replaces putty impressions. With our iTero® Element Scanner, we can digitally capture a detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums. This process eliminates the mess of putty based impressions. The result is an accurate image of your teeth that can be used to construct crowns, whitening trays and Invisalign® clear aligners. You may never need to feel the uncomfortable gagging of a dental impression again!

​

For Invisalign® clear aligners, Dr. MacDonald creates a 3D image of your teeth using an iTero® scanner within minutes. The scan of your teeth is then is sent to the Invisalign® team to fabricate your custom-made clear aligners. We can even create an outcome simulator which allows you to see your new smile before you start your treatment.

digital RADIATION x-rays
